Software and data management

Bathymetrix manages the full lifecycle of data and metadata collected by MERMAID floats, from wrangling and analysis to curation and archival at the EarthScope Data Management Center. We emphasize clean, maintainable code and develop open workflows for long-term use through GitHub.

Original research and collaboration

Bathymetrix leads original research projects and consults with scientists interested in utilizing MERMAID data. We build software pipelines to associate untagged acoustic data with natural events, pick seismoacoustic arrival times, and analyze ocean-basin-scale hydroacoustic propagation.
